A red Hyundai Accent has been parked in the same spot since July 2022 and is becoming a nuisance for trash pick up. With winter coming this car is in the way for snow removal.

The residents of either 727 South Eagleson or 719 South Eagleson use a public access ally way (running between Eagleson and Swain) as parking for cars and large recreational vehicles. It blocks the way for utility service, trash removal, postal delivery, access to property and walking and biking around the neighborhood. Moreover, residents in either of these two homes are blocking parking spots and affecting traffic with green “slow down” signs placed in the street. Both these actions present an over-reach of private citizens in claiming and controlling public space. Please could you investigate and hold these citizens to the rules that we all live by?

Not sure why #177138 was closed. Nothing has changed. Cars still blocking the street, still blocking the ramp and still blocking the fire hydrant.

I park on 6th street between Morton and College 5 days out of the week as I work on the square. About 60% of the time the meter will read my card as declined which causes me to move spots or try to find change to fill up the meter. I had to move 3 times on 12/2 because the first meter was blank, I was told to move and when I did that meter declined my card so I moved again and that one took my card. The same issue happened today but I didn’t have a space to move to so I put in what change I had, went into where I work and got 4 more quarters and put those in and then proceeded to do the pay by phone via a guest on the app to add the needed 6.5 hours. My confirmation email told me I had until 7:03pm but the amount paid total should have went until about 8:30pm. With no guarantee of not getting a ticket, my coworker went down and put enough in to go until 8:58pm just to be safe. So a total of almost $16 to park for 8.5 hours. The meters not working properly is a continued issue for me. I have lived in Bloomington my entire life and I’ve worked downtown for 4 years always using metered parking. It wouldn’t be a big deal to me if this didn’t happen to me multiple times a week. I call every so often to inform the city of Bloomington parking about the issues I have and I’m usually told there is no way to prevent getting a ticket even if the order is put in, I just have to contest the ticket with hopes it will be dismissed. It is just frustrating to me because I always pay and I’m more often than not completely inconvenienced or late to work trying to deal with the issues with the meter. It’s just disappointing as a life resident here that has to use that parking every day. I’m hoping this reaches someone that can try to address some of these issues.

I received a call, phone number 216-337-3255, no name. From what I could understand, there is illegal parking happening on a street that only has parking on one side. The location is Woodburn between Kenwood Drive and 17th as well as on Kinser Pike/Rogers between Kenwood Drive and 17th.
